Splitgate
Splitgate seems to have gone far beyond the conceivable goals for a rather small project, described so far as "a mix between Halo and Portal", as evidenced by the excellent numbers recorded by the game in the year 2021, according to the summary video. br>The idea of mixing the use of portals able to modify the system of movement and interaction with the maps with the mechanics of arena shooter typical of Halo, with a lot of characterization rather similar to the latter as regards the characters, resulted in an evidently convincing gameplay, which brought many players into the community, thanks also to the free-to-play essence.
1047 Games, a small team based in Nevada, is managed to obtain impressive results with his project in 2021, reaching over 15 million downloads, 6,167 years of gaming spent within it (obviously adding the time taken by all the players overall ), resulting among the top trends and also launching the Splitgate Pro Series with a prize pool of $ 100,000.
In short, Splitgate was undoubtedly a success and the numbers of 2021 certify it, despite being a relatively small project and destined to clash with high-profile games in this area. To find out more, we refer you to the review of Splitgate, a game that, according to the developers, can coexist with Halo and help each other.
